Advice as usual...

I can't say I am a newbie, but I am still learning linux...currently I am using lubuntu 10.04, very smooth and light, but, there are somethings I would like to change which brings me to me question...best terminal to use to replace lxterminal?(not gonna lie, it for vain reasons).

I run urxvt and konsole, both have their place, but konsole is my favorite because of the ctrl+shift+v paste function which helps alot when using wget to grab tarballs from the net.

You can paste from the X clipboard in any terminal using the keyboard shortcut Shift-Insert, including in urxvt

[edit]You could also have some fun with the program xclip, which lets you manipulate the X clipboard directly from e.g. scripts. That would allow you to use the following command to download the last URL copied to the clipboard:

Because the insert key is in various location on my many keyboards the other sequence is preferred.

You do have a good recommendation about playing with xclip, there is much that can be done with it. Once you get used to the many functions xclip proved to be more useful than other ciipboard utilities.

You can have a look at xmodmap and set another shortcut (maybe it's possible within X as well)

yakuake is the tool that made it easier to access the terminal, which in turn prompted me to discover more about the command line tools. So I guess that you can say it was the gateway that led me to being comfortable with the cli and minimal window managers.
